I'll drink (a cup of cappuccino) to that. Until the past year of so, my only use for HO Kadees was for On2, so I hadn't kept up on developments. I did notice in passing that after the Kadee basic patents expired that clones started appearing (McHenry being one that I recall seeing advertised). Need one order direct from Walthers for such sales, or can any retail dealer get them less discount to sell at that price?
